BMX, or bicycle motocross, involves riding specially designed bikes on dirt tracks or purpose-built courses. The sport includes freestyle riding, which focuses on jumps and tricks, as well as BMX racing, where riders compete over short, technical tracks.
ActivitySure can cover BMX freestyle and BMX racing on an amateur basis when youre taking part abroad. Because the activity involves jumps, ramps and off-road terrain, its important to make sure your travel insurance is suitable for the level of riding you plan to do.

Destination Insight
BMX is popular worldwide, with strong riding communities in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Purpose-built dirt tracks, skate parks and BMX facilities are widely available in cities and sports centres, making it accessible for travellers taking part in casual riding, training sessions or organised amateur events.
Many riders take part recreationally while travelling, rather than as part of formal competition.
BMX riding involves speed, aerial movement and uneven terrain, which increases the risk of falls and impact injuries. Broken bones, sprains and head injuries are possible, particularly during jumps or high-speed riding. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong while youre taking part.
Yes, injuries from normal participation, such as falls, jumps, or collisions, can be covered as long as you’re within the terms of your policy.
Yes. BMX freestyle and racing needs to be added as an activity when you’re getting a quote. It isn’t covered as standard, and without adding it you may not receive cover if you need emergency medical assistance while participating abroad.
BMX freestyle involves tricks and jumps, or riding in purpose-built areas. BMX racing is about competing on tracks alongside other riders, usually at speed. Both are covered under the same activity when selected, but involve different riding styles and risks.
Yes. BMXing is typically carried out in recognised parks or racing tracks, and can be covered when selected on your policy. Taking part in a controlled environment and following site rules helps to make sure you’re within the terms of your cover.
Yes, provided that the activity has been added to your policy, and you take part on an amateur basis. Professional or paid participation would not be covered.
Yes. You must wear all appropriate safety equipment, like a helmet and protective gear, when riding a BMX. You should always take care to minimise the risk of any activity as much as you can, which would also include following guidance at the venue.
